You will have to play in at least one of this series' tournaments but with two tournaments left, you still have the chance. If you win both, you may even qualify for the Championship game. 
And I'm assuming I'd still have to pay the 200 championship fee? So realistically speaking I'd be paying 9% rake across a series game and the consolation game so I'd be better off playing any regular tournament on SwC, unless I could choose to donate the 200 to the consolation one's prize pool instead. I'll likely pass on this one thanks, but I could be persuaded by a decent guaranteed prize.
The thing is - taking part in our series/poker tournaments is not just about the money you know? And if you knew me, granted... you cant - Well, I would not have mentioned the "guaranteed" prize if it wasnt worth it (even monetarily)...
